Consumer Description

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULDN'T START AND THEN IT WOULDN'T CRANK AT ALL AND I COULDN'T HEAR MY FUEL PUMP FREAKING AS WELL. IT STARTED OUT AS AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM AND THEN IT WOULDN'T EVER START AFTER THAT SO I WENT TO THE FUEL PUMP WIRING IN THE TRUNK FUSE BOX AND SEPARATED THE WIRING FOXES FROM THE FUSE PANEL AND CAME ACROSS A BURNT FUEL PUMP WIRE IT WAS A TAN WIRE AND IT WAS SCORCHED BLACK FROM THE END OF THE WIRE ABOUT 4 INCHES UP THE WIRE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BROWN WIRE AND IT WAS BLACK I REPLACED IT AND NOW IT'S FINE
